Interesting... I just looked at dell's site and yes, seems its 3700 now. That 3700 has (among other things): ESS Maestro-2E Audio-Controller ATI Rage Mobility™ M1 3D Video-Controller with 8 MB SDRAM Videomemory Alps Touchpad, PS/2-compatible with `Pointstick' (whats that?) Is that also what yours has which works? (can you mail me your kernel config, dmesg, and startup messages from the X server?) There also is an optional Inspiron 3700 Portreplicator with the usual ports and 10/100 Ethernet, is that nic supported too, would it maybe even get more bandwidth than a pcmcia one? And are there ports (like, serial) on the machine itself too or only on the Portreplicator? And you can order a DVD-ROM drive instead of the CD, anyone know if that would work?
